Novak Djokovic was born on May 22, 1987, in Belgrade, Serbia. 

Djokovic began playing tennis at age 4, and was sent to train in Germany at age 13.

After a steady ascent to the top levels of the sport, he won the Australian Open in 2008 and led the Serbian national team to its first Davis Cup win in 2010.

 In 2011, he claimed three of four Grand Slams and compiled a 43-match winning streak en route to the world’s No. 1 ranking. With his first French Open win in 2016, he became the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four major titles at once.

In the 2007 season, Djokovic played the semi-finals of the French Open and Wimbledon. He won his second Masters title in Montreal, beating the Top 3 playersā€”Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddickā€”which made him No. 3 in the world. He competed for Serbia in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and won a bronze medal in singles tennis.
